All the umpteen computers at our university have to have a name. The
cause for this particular one is lost in history. Some of that history
is given in http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~ts/garbinfo/garb0010.html but not
that detail.

(The newsgroup comp.archives.msdos.d added and followups redirected
since this goes beyond NT/2000/XP/.. script programming.)

All the best, Timo
